Atlanta Falcons weigh risk and reward with Leonard Floyd as edge rusher decisions loom. Is Floyd the budget-friendly insurance Atlanta needs, or should they target greater upside at the position? Host Aaron Freeman explores the pros and cons of re-signing Leonard Floyd, considering James Pearce’s uncertain status and Arnold Ebiketie’s possible departure. The podcast compares Floyd’s pressure rates, sack numbers, and contract value to free-agent and draft alternatives like Boye Mafe, Kwity Paye, and Michigan’s Derrick Moore. Key topics include resource allocation for the edge rusher room, the potential emergence of Jalon Walker, and how Atlanta can avoid past issues at the position.
